When it comes to nails, I certainly don't consider myself to be an expert. Plus, I am the worst at coming up with design ideas. This is why Pinterest has become my go-to source for nail inspiration (among countless other things).

I decided, for the Fourth of July holiday, I wanted something festive. I ran across a design from Pink You Rock [4] (she has many beautiful nail looks floating around Pinterest). Here is my rendition of the look:

The allover glitter nail is Essie Set in Stones [5] ($6, originally $8), and the red is Sally Hansen's Red Carpet [6] ($6) — my favorite red, ever! The white is from Wet n Wild [7] ($1), and the blue is from Zoya [8] ($9). I used blue painter's tape for the lines and freehanded the heart.
